August has only just begun, summer is still in full swing - weather notwithstanding - and children don't go back to school for weeks. But retailers' thoughts are very much turning to Christmas, which means they're already starting to announce their festive ranges.
Asda and Tesco are two of the chains that have given a sneak peek at the food and gift ideas people can expect to see on the shelves when Christmas gets closer. Luxurious treats are still the order of the day - although both supermarkets say the cost of living has been a key consideration in putting together their seasonal lines for 2023.
Tesco will have a range of products called 'Christmas Gifting For All', described as "presents for the whole family, at pocket-sized prices". These include the Ultimate Steak Set (£12), complete with tongs, steak rubs and a wooden board, a Cocktail Mixology Set (£10) and the Global Gizmo Karaoke Machine (£10).

Meanwhile Tesco promises a raft of options for Christmas dinner, extending from mains to trimmings and puddings. There are more than 40 options for turkey alone, which the retailer says "vary in size" and will "suit all budgets".
For those not partial to turkey, Tesco is offering a Finest Thor’s Hammer Beef Joint with beef dripping gravy (£48) plus a Finest Seafood Medley (£22).
As well as a selection of mince pies, Tesco's puddings include a Finest Orange, Mascarpone & Ginger Highwall Cheesecake (£13) - a baked cheesecake made with orange-infused mascarpone, encased in a spiced ginger ‘highwall’ biscuit crumb, which Tesco describes as a "first to market" proposition.
